'Risky' to put councillors back in charge in 2021 in Tauranga

From Morning Report, 7:49 am on 26 July 2021

Six months after Crown appointed commissioners took over at Tauranga City Council, local leaders want their stay extended.

The four commissioners are supposed to stay on until local government elections in October next year.

While some fear that's too early, others in Tauranga say the government appointees are raising rates too high and need to leave now.
